The Kooples is proud of its Parisian roots but one of its main influences is British subculture – it does fit with its nonchalant image, after all. Punkish tartan is its latest import, patterning this mini skirt that’s knitted with hits of alpaca and wool. Its exposed gold-toned zip and bejewelled fleur-de-lis patch keep rebellion in our minds, which is why we couldn’t resist styling our model with a leather jacket over her T-shirt.
